Great tutorial. I just got a new B1 from the Donner eBay site for £79. What a steal ! It’s hooked up to Volca Beat atm. Hours of fun.

[@dashlaru2]

The full sized midi out allows you to control other synths with it's great little performance sequence r. The B1 + Dreadbox Typhon = Absolute Magic!

[@tonywharton5220]

I got this a couple of days ago and I honestly think its the best bass synth out there and it was only £89 from Amazon ✌️

[@realmchat6665]

I have one showing up on Monday, thanks for a well explained demonstration, I learned things :)

[@guitar-academy]

very clear and informative . . thank you

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimshannononsounds]

Great walkthrough Doug. Interesting device.

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

Im getting mine in tomorrow. This is going straight into my boss pedalboard and my guitar is going straight into the input. I cant wait.

[@PeterJoslynHarris]

I had been quite disappointed when I bought this one but your video changed all that. You are such a phenomenal musician, tutor and enthusiast!

[@BloodyChunX]

Great video. I wish Donner would update their instruction manual. I wouldn't have known how to use these features without your video. Also people should know that the Donner B-1, doesn't come with the Usb-c to Usb-A lead needed to update the firmware. They only cost a fiver or so, but are necessary. I'm having loads of fun with this bit of kit as a newcomer to the word of synths. Next purchase will hopefully be a Arturia Microfreak!

[@TiberianFiend]

I bought one of these on sale a few months ago. I need to finally get around to using it.

[@ColinPowell_AMultitudeofOne]

So it's like a re-imagined TB-303 for a bargain price? Cool!

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Exactly Colin, but with loads more control and a lot easier to program. I also have a video planned to show you how to connect it to the iPad via USB, when you do this you can have AUM control the B1s clock and have the B1 play any other synth, or have something like Riffler, ZOA or Riffer play the B1, and use the B1 as a midi controller too, it’s very versatile and fun👍😊

Good morning guys what I would love to see the new update and song mode I have one and have not taken mines out for a year now but I love it cheers!!

[@larry1754]

Thank you for this info on my B1, I will be uploading to the new firmware soon! I also have the TD-3, and today should be getting a Behringer RD-6. My question is, to run all three synced, do I sync the RD-6 out to one of them, then sync out of it to the other machine, so they all are in sync? Is that how it's done? I am not a pro, just a home guy who wants to make this music, lol! TYIA!

[@kentaccordionist]

Great Demo Doug. I’m going to give mine another go. But I’m swapping the master knob with the cutoff knob.

[@ignacioperandres]

🎉❤

[@BloodyChunX]

That's the first thing I did. I saw it mentioned on another video. It made perfect sense!

[@OmenAhead]

Cool stuff man. Can you use slide, rachet and accent while playing lines by yourself or with the arp and not in sequence mode?

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

No, they have to be applied afterwards to the sequence👍

[@timetraveller3063]

£89 on Amazon. Just ordered one

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

Thanks for the help with the update. I have a quick question. Can you have more than one song saved at a time. It seems that I can't figure that out. Like say I have a song saved in the Slot one. How do I go to slot 2 and make a new song? thanks~

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Hi Maria no, you can’t have more than one song saved at the same time, in Song Mode, the bottom 16 notes become slots, each slot can hold pattern and tempo info, but you can’t save multiple versions of that.

[@MariaCalfaDePaul]

@@TheSoundTestRoom ahhh that’s why I couldn’t figute it out. Thanks so much. Still really great update!

[@koalemos1679]

They need to update the envelope. Last time I checked it was stuck on retrigger and as a result slides would retrigger notes after a slide whether you want it to or not. That lil problem makes me feel content with my TD-3 even though it is glitchy.

[@robert___t]

I'm sure you've gotten your answer, but for those reading who might still have that question: This was fixed in a firmware update. I'm not sure which, 1.0.x or 1.1.0, but it HAS been corrected.

[@EchoKraft]

Will it record knob movements.

[@andreash3906]

​​@@EchoKraftNo it can't.

[@rightside]

dude, are you doing this tutorial with the update? i cant seem to be able to clear a pattern to start my own. 😩 cant install the app on my ipad so having to wait on my buddy bringing his windows laptop to install the update 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
